$PLI is building an important piece of infrastructure for onchain finance. $PLI and $LINK have something important in common: both are decentralized oracle networks that bring reliable external data to blockchain applications. That becomes especially important when you’re talking about stocks, indices, commodities and ETFs. Synthetic asset protocols need accurate, real time reference prices for minting, redemption and liquidations. Plugin provides these market data feeds through its decentralized node network, helping bring traditional market information into blockchain based financial applications. There’s also a connection with $XDC network that makes $PLI particularly interesting to follow, especially with XDC’s focus on financial applications and tokenized assets. Blockchains need reliable data to connect with the real world. As more traditional assets move onchain, oracle infrastructure becomes increasingly important.
